America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Good morning, teachers. Remember, one bad day doesn't make you a bad teacher. It just makes you human. Humanity is the backbone of every connection you make with your students. #edusky

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.

Happy to make the big move over here! I'm an AP at a middle/high alternative school after spending 15 years teaching elementary. I rarely post but EduTwitter was my gateway to deconstructing who I am as an educator and moving from a deficit mindset to one of growth and possibility for all.
